It would be quite the coincidence if what you want to do because it’s fun also happens to be exactly what you ought to do to become a happier and more successful person? How convenient! No hard work necessary! The Answer is “Sit on your ass and read stuff on the internet” all along! If only I’d known that 5 years ago!
Seriously? Your rhetoric is thick and off the mark. There are lots of fun things we decide not to do because we see a problem with the ought of doing it. Having fun on this site is no barrier to the happiness or success I am seeking, even though I happen to be in front of a computer right now. That could change, but the same is true for any hobby that gets to be a problem.
Utterly, utterly, utterly delusional.
What is delusional? Thinking I can make better decisions and that LessWrong can actually help me do that? Please elaborate.
